Tropicana just celebrated her first birthday, what a year for her. This girl had a congenital malformation that resulted in a surgery. She is currently on a semi-liquid diet. Tropicana has had a long recovery but she is ready for a loving home. She is a bit fearful so we feel a home without small children would be best. She also would prefer a home with no cats. For more information on Tropicana or any of the animals at the Hilton Head Humane Association, please call 681-8686 or visit www.hhhumane.org

Diesel is a wonderful 3 or 4-year-old brindle Lab mix that was picked up as a stray and was in horrible condition. It appears he had some form of flammable liquid poured on him and then caught on fire. He is a big goofy guy that loves other dogs, people and children.

Logan has been blind for two of his 11 years and is a handsome owner surrender from a military family who could no longer care for him. He learns his way around very quickly, uses the doggy door, plays with his ball, and is perhaps the best house trained dog that his foster mom has ever had. He is good with other dogs and people who are careful not to "blind-side" him. He would do well in a home with a mature dog for a companion or as an only dog. To adopt or volunteer with Dachshund Rescue of North America, contact ellenwh@bellsouth.net or call 912-398-1892.

Spanky's original owner was a college student, and he had trouble managing his time so that I had some of it. His mom and dad were keeping me, but their other older male dog and I did not do well together. Guess he thought I was intruding in his space. So Grand Mom asked DRNA to help find me a home. It is pretty nice here and I am sure my foster mom will find the right forever home for me. I am only barely one-years-old, and I would love to have you as my best friend. To adopt or volunteer with Dachshund Rescue of North America, contact ellenwh@bellsouth.net or call 912-398-1892.

A very nice family rescued Daisy from the pile of farm machinery I lived under that was near a busy road and a railroad track. They wanted to keep me, but had an 18 mo. old son who didn't really know how to play with me but I was good with him anyway and another baby coming in a week or so. I am a mini at 11 pounds, only about 1-years-old and have already had puppies. I wish I could really share my story with you. I have now been caught up on my shots, am heartworm free, and will go to the vet in the morning for the required spay. Then I will be good to go to my forever home. Could that be you?

Meet Smiley Miley. This wonderful girl is another face of dog fighting in America. She was kept in a basement to be one day killed in a fight and used for breeding to raise puppies. Look at her face and you can see the scars of years of fighting for her life. Her tongue is shredded in pieces and chunks of her face are missing. She is with us for over a year and had to undergo many surgeries and treatments to finally get her as healthy and beautiful as she is now. She now loves all kind of balls and toys but prefers not to share them. She collects all balls and surrounds herself with them. She never ever showed any aggression towards people or children and all she does is giving kisses all day long. She loves affection and is nothing but a sweet lapdog. She is house- and crate trained, vaccinated, spayed, micro chipped and heartworm negative.
